13 months in...a just realized NSV and goals....
What a great NSV! The dishes! Oh how I hate them! My boobs and belly are always soaked so I totally relate! Was your goal to weight less than your dog? (Did I read that right?) You must have a giant dog! I have a 143 lb Newfoundland and if I get below that I will be shocked!
That sort of brings me to another question. Does anyone know why most WLS patients don't lose 100% of the excess weight? It seems like they (soon to be "we") should. Are those people just not working the program? Is it just that everyone's body is different? I am about 5 weeks from surgery and having those "I will be the only one who doesn't lose a pound" fear starting.
Congratulations on your loss and being able to tackle the dishes and remain dry!
OMG!!!OMG!!!!OMG!!!!!
I HAVE A 140 LB NEWFIE!!!!!!!
shes a just a furry bunch o' love and DROOL!!!!!!
EDITED TO ADD...cause I didn't read past... I have a Newfoundland.... LOL..
I'm not quite sure why some don't lose to 100% excess weight..
I have to say I Defiantly started getting a bit complacent once I hit a normal BMI
which for me was 154.. The lowest I remember being in my life was 150
so although I wanted to get to goal( which by the way, I just pulled outta thin air)
Dr. And NUT would have been happy with me at 150ish..
so I Defiantly started to snack here and there...eat a carb here or there..
as long as I reign it in, not let the bad eating go past the day I'm going off plan,
I'm fine..it's actually to not have 1 bad day turn into 2 weeks (Christmas was BAD!!)
thats the trick.
You go girl! What amazing NSVs! I'm still waiting for pictures of you and your Newfie girl!! ;)
